General rogue waves and their dynamics in several reverse time integrable nonlocal nonlinear equations

Abstract: A study of general rogue waves in some integrable reverse time nonlocal nonlinear equations is presented. Specifically, the reverse time nonlocal nonlinear Schr\"odinger (NLS) and nonlocal Davey-Stewartson (DS) equations are investigated, which are nonlocal reductions from the AKNS hierarchy. By using Darboux transformation (DT) method, several types of rogue waves are constructed. Especially, a unified binary DT is found for this nonlocal DS system, thus the solution formulas for nonlocal DSI and DSII equation can be written in an uniform expression. Dynamics of these rogue waves is separately explored. It is shown that the (1+1)-dimensional rogue waves in nonlocal NLS equation can be bounded for both x and t, or develop collapsing singularities. It is also shown that the (1+2)-dimensional line rogue waves in the nonlocal DS equations can be bounded for all space and time, or have finite-time blowing-ups. All these types depend on the values of free parameters introduced in the solution. In addition, the dynamics patterns in the multi- and higher-order rogue waves exhibits more richer structures, most of which have no counterparts in the corresponding local nonlinear equations.
